CCREF’s paper, "Soluble Salts in Compost and their Effects on Soil and Plants,” was accepted for peer-reviewed scientific review by Compost Science & Utilization. CCREF is honored to have the paper receive this status since it gives the work an extra level of recognition in the scientific community. The goal of this research paper was to explore the known knowledge regarding the speciation of the specific salt measured by the EC test and determine if further research is needed to identify the specific salts and their impacts on plant growth. CCREF plans to have the paper available for free, open access, within the next couple of weeks on the CCREF website.
